Ghost writing Vs Self Publishing- Which one pays better?

[Fidelia]

Ghost writing involves you putting together a body of writing work and selling it for another person to publish it. Self publishing implies that you write the book and publish it yourself.

All things being equal, which pays better for writing books between ghost writing and self publishing?

I think self publishing would give you the edge to make more money as you set your pricing and get all the profit

I believe self publishing should be better, this way you can also open yourself to more opportunities as well.

 

[King Belieal]

The thing with self publishing is that it would take you some time to build a profile that would help you make money as an author.

Frankly speaking l think the the self publishing pays a little bit higher amount of money to the author's compared to the ghost writing.

Self publishing is the best you get all the profits

 

[Kross]

Maybe because of platforms that allow for self publishing, it would be a lot easier. It is sure that self publishing is more profitable. But it would take some time for it to start yielding. But for ghost writing, you are paid right away.

 

[Nomad]

It is easier to earn as a ghostwriter compared to earning from your own books. I am saying this base don my own experience

 

[Stardom22]

I think the self publishing pays far much better than the ghost writing This is because with the self publishing there is the aspect for earning of the royalties which forms the passive earning fact.

 

[Min George]

If you don't have a strong authority as a writer, it is better you do ghost writing because it would pay you more.

Self publishing is more rewarding because it is passive income. It can pay you and still continue to pay your children even after you have passed. But to be successful as self publishing author is not a child's play.
